Ok, so like 3 times a year for 3 days each, we get a 40% discount off cosmetics at my place of work. So between these times ensues lots of planning and impatiently waiting. mostly because they never let us know when it will be, they only give us a weeks notice which really sucks. So this time i got to save up a little and get somethings I've been eyeing for a while. I am slowly collecting the entire Chanel Summer collection : Les Fleurs d'ete.
Shiseido Pureness Cleansing Foam
(This cleansing foam feels fluffy and luxurious. it washes my makeup off and cleanses my face and feels comfortable. i dont like that tight feeling.)
Guerlain e/l in Khol Me Brown
(love this gorgeous coffee brown with gold sparkles)
Dior Mascara Ecstase
Dior 5 Palette in Beige Massai
(love this, Dior has the best e/s I've ever used. i got this bc Lisa Eldridge said it was one of her favs, and the colors are very much what i wear. love this packaging as well, nice and sturdy with a little weight to it.)
Chanel Bronzer in Bronze Corail
(had to get this one bc the Bronze Rose was too light for me and the pinkness didnt look right with my yellow undertone. i also didnt find it as buildable as the coral. These bronzers are very soft and subtle, easily blendable.)
Chanel l/g in Pink Peony
Chanel e/l in Rose Platine
(love this, though be careful, it doesnt show up very well on some people.)
Chanel Blush in Pink Tweed
(my version of MAC's Well-Dressed, which doesn't show up on me, but this does. a subtle cool pink shimmer)
After watching Pixi2woo's brights trend tutorial, i had to check out this Nars duo Mediteranee. I'm surprised its never caught my eye before, i think its part of the permanent line. I've been looking for an orange eyeshadow for a while, and this one was perfect. This duo is amazing, great color combination and awesome color intensity, i almost have to blend it down so its not too bright. I am in love with Nars eyeshadows now, they hardly disappoint like Mac can tend to do. Next duo on my list in Dogon:) My other purchase was Havana Dreams, Sephora by OPI. I was a bit reluctant to purchase this when it first came out, because i new the formula was thin and would need 3 coats, and i was right. But what made me go for it was I had missed out on getting Chanel Riva:( i was was looking for the best dupe and this was it. After three coats the coverage is fine.
